LRANY win at the New York Court of Appeals
The New York Law Journal reports that the New York Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, affirmed the lower court’s decision to toss an $11 million asbestos verdict rendered against Ford Motor Company, citing “insufficient evidence.” The Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York joined local and national allies in the filing of an amicus brief in support of the decision. Arthur Juni, the plaintiff in the case was represented by Weitz & Luxenberg, the asbestos litigation firm that once counted corruption-convict and former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. Juni was at one time treated by Dr. Robert Taub, the Columbia University researcher at the heart of Silver’s corruption scandal.
